@Kyle___Edwards @MarkPalmerST@TimesSport@timesscotland The SRU pays for it and their goal is as strong an international team as possible. The coaches are hired to produce the best from the players they have. Having control over recruitment, their drive, rightfully, would be to produce players to win the league. A conflict of interest
@GlasgowWarriors Hi just filled out the form for my boy. At the favourite player box it won't allow typing, only numbers. Uploaded a pic of him and his favourite player instead.
@TheRealCarlJeff @rugbyworldcup That ignores the physical side of it. Ireland and SA have had one more game against a tier 1 (arguably π) side. AB's have had training games except for France, four weeks ago.
England, as it turns out, have had four training games.
@Rod__Mason@tagliatelier@RichardJMurphy That's not putting it another way. 45% of what? 14% of what?
You stated 1% of people pay 30% of income tax. So what? If the total income tax is Β£100, they've paid Β£30β¦if they've earned (both with earned and unearned income) Β£70000000 it's not really relevant is it?
@Rod__Mason@tagliatelier@RichardJMurphy That means absolutely nothing. What percentage of each individuals income (add in unearned income too) does that amount to?
I could pay 30% of all income tax if I earned a gazillion per year and it would be negligible.
@thistlerugbypod The biggest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the URC that playing NH domestic rugby and SH international wouldn't help them!
Having said that NZ were shit.
